Property was clean and very convenient to public beach access. Only negative was small ants on table and bathroom sinks.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Nov 2025
Thank you for your feedback Pamela! We are so that you had to experience the sweet ants that are very common in this area around this time! Pest Control was out servicing this property just before your stay and unfortunately those little sweet ants do not react what pest control uses. But we are pleased to hear that you were still able to enjoy your stay! Thank you for allowing us to be your host, it was a pleasure!

Perfect Location

My daughter and I picked this cottage because for years we had been visiting Mexico Beach and hadn't been there since Hurricane Michael devastated the area. The cottage was picture perfect, comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well appointed, the fridge has an ice maker, and we found the beds very comfortable. We loved that it was so close to the beach also. Highly recommend!

Vacation getaway

Our stay at Georgia Sands was wonderful. The location made it very convenient to go to the beach, sightseeing & restaurants. We loved being able to bring our Miniature Schnauzer, our fur baby who loved the beach after a couple days. A totally relaxing vacation for us, loved it. Many thanks, I will be highly recommending your house to family & friends.

No ocean view!! Putting up a big motel that block of your view of the ocean

There were a few broken items hidden in the cupboards, and I was disappointed that there was not an actual ocean view since they put in that new motel across the street

Thanks for the feedback. I wish you had called while you were and we could have resolved all the issues except the restaurant (Toucan's) going up on hwy 98. But to clarify, this home has never been advertised with having an ocean view. We do hope you return to visit us again.

Lacked For Nothing

This home had everything we needed for my husband, daughter, our 10 month old grandson and our 4 legged “son” to enjoy our vacation. Everything was perfect! The beach access was a little more steep than we could handle with all of the “baggage“ we take to the beach, so we found it was easier to load up the truck and drive to the the Barnacle Beach access 1 mile to the east. The Mexico Beach community is still rebuilding from hurricane Michael in 2018, but the “less touristy“ vibe was awesome! We will most definitely be back!
